Class D vs Class A

George,
That's a very interesting comparison of two different topologies.For my
taste, I'd go with the Valvet(simple and straight forward class A circuit with
good part quality) but have no idea what your taste or priorities
are.What is the speaker's sensitivity and efficiency,type of music and how
loud do you listen?Let us know your findings.

I understand your rationale but I suspect if given a listen in your system you'd have loved the Valvet.
Regards,
